At times yes, but then I've eventually come upon something that has restored my faith. I've seen greed, corruption, and many other "nasty" things I'd rather forget. But for every one of these I've seen something which counter acts it. I've seen good in people, seen them try, seen them refusing to give up doing what's right even when the situations grim. One particular individual springs to mind, who taught me that there's always reason to fight the good fight, that there are ppl like us out there who also try to help, despite needing it themselves. That we should never give in, and that where there's a will there's a way. He also taught me to give ppl a second chance, that anyone can change, that corruption can be overcome. But only if we dont give up on those in need, only if we keep fighting, only if we refuse to be beaten. Its ppl like that who keep my faith going, and also the happiness of the ppl we've helped. Dont give up on humanity just yet, sometimes ppl can surprise you. And always remember that no matter how grim the situation, how useless it may seem to continue, you've got to hang in there, even if for just a second longer. There are still good ppl who need your help. And thats what makes us special, what keeps other ppl's faith in humanity going. We dont give up, we fight for what's right.

I've lost faith in my dreams for humanity. I don't think we can save all the lost souls, because threre's too many gone, not enough people to help, and some souls are lost forever. I don't think we can make everyone educated, because there are just SO many stupid people. I do think its worth trying though. I guess its just an innate trait to want to help others. I don't want to see people starving, homeless, crazy, alone or hurt. I don't want the environment to fall apart or countries to live in tyranny. But I don't know how to fix it...and that is the problem. Everything is so interconnected and far apart at the same time that to fix one part isn't enough. And I don't think anyone knows how to fix everything...not at once or piece by piece. There are so many theories and only one lifetime per mind.

Yep. I undergo in techniques interior the Bible, there's a place the place God needs he had by no ability created people, yet he nonetheless loves us anyhow. human beings could properly be so twisted. On a private point for me, i are turning out to be in hardship for arguing with the massive Bang thought. My pal replaced into no longer allowed to positioned on a bypass necklace for yearbook photos. there's a gang of Ipod thieves interior the ladies locker room. One lady caught the thief interior the act, and published the Ipod thief's own counsel (her call, address, e mail, and image) interior the chat room. On a international point, it makes me unwell every time I analyze an 8 12 months previous getting raped or killed, some conflict casualty, a guy cleared via DNA after being falsely imprisoned for twenty years (in a single social gathering, the "sufferer" replaced right into a sixty 5 12 months previous lady who wasn't donning her glasses at nighttime. She in simple terms had to faux she observed who it replaced into!!!), or all of us committing any crime and getting away with it. and how human beings act at school and those drug addict celebrities interior the media! the international's previous is even worse, with slave commerce, gladiators, human sacrifices, and so on. Sorry if i'm sounding cynical. yet that's what i think of. If rapture and tribulation exceeded off now, i'm hoping human beings will initiate turning lower back.

Absolutely not. For every sitting tyrant, an activist stands. For every oppressive regime's enormous army, a breathtakingly brave and small opposition musters a battle cry.

I've seen abusive men, but I was raised by an honorable one and have loved several others.

I've seen violence, but I've had many differences solved peacefully.

I've known prejudice, but I've also known acceptance.

I have hope for humanity, because I'm not arrogant enough to think I am the only person trying to be good.

I lost faith in humanity when the pictures of the muslim prisoners came out. What our soldiers did to them was disgusting.

Not entirely, but I've been pretty close lately.

Seems to be a bit of a trickle-down effect here, in terms of trickle-down *Stupidity*. -_- That is, when you have your leaders running amok aspiring to be Beavis & Butthead, well, eventually *everyone* who is in charge of something or has authority will get stupid.

Which is bad because? These people are the ones we *presume* to be competent. We assume they're professionals or at least chosen to *be* competent at their jobs....and yet for all that, any more these days it seems like I'm the only one around with any sense. Sorry if that seems arrogant. I know there's a *handful*--literally five at most--of people left in my hometown that I'd trust to be competent.

But I also have to deal with the *rest* of the lot when I have to work with my housing management, for example, or when I have to get in people's faces *three times* in the past three weeks to try to get back in the mental health system locally, only to be told: "Ok, you're in the system, on the waiting list....and the wait is for *months* not weeks."

And I *so* want to rip these people a new one. -_- Telling them: "Now see *here* damn you, *I'm* the one with problems here, *I* am the one who is a flake with a mood disorder or three who *can't* work without being stable on medication that *you* are denying me....and yet *you people* see fit to be flakier and more messed up than *I am*. You're *supposed* to be trained professionals. You're supposed to be competent at your jobs! You're supposed to *get* funding and *use it* correctly. What the hell? What is your *major* malfunction?? I know what *mine is*....so what's YOUR excuse, huh?"

I want to do that...but I know the minute I do, people will call security, or call the police, and that those "people" won't talk, they'll bust out tasers or bust caps in me and either way I'll likely be dead....and then every last Troll on the internet will blather *on and ON* about how "I deserved it" and how "you MUST OBEY the Authorities"...

Even if they're wrong to the point of near brain death, huh?

Really, do the words "minimally conscious" ring a bell? Some people, I daresay, would be *smarter* in a coma.

And given that so many things, at least in the tattered mess that *is* my nation these days, are falling apart more and more quickly, this is really the exact polar *opposite* of what we need. We need help from people who *KNOW* what help is! You know, from people who are willing and *able* to solve problems, profit margins be *damned*?

But hey, what do I know, I'm just some nobody, some disposable *citizen* here who was born here and tried to make something of himself...only to have the ladder up yanked out from under him, repeatedly. What do I know?

....so yeah, I don't have much faith at all really, at least not in the *bulk* of the humanoids around me. Note the choice of words....anymore these days it helps me *to cope* if I deliberately *distance* myself from the mess and assume they aren't the same *species* as I am. Which is a bad thing, I know.....but I'm stuck, like everyone else, with choosing the "evil of two lessers" these days.

I hope this helps...thanks for your time. Good question!

Faith - Hope = substance of things hoped for.
No matter what my Hope is - the people in the world cry for mercy and relief from their terrible sufferings.
No Hope Kills
Hope keeps you going until - the situation changes.

no, because that would be inhumanity to my fellow man, the original reason as to why i was about to say yes. and if i had lost faith in myself then my body would natraly fall conciously into a self induced coma.

...if you mean...do I like living in the hills with my pet bear?...well, no, not that severe...but I have withdrawn a bit...maybe it's just that "the times, they are a-changin' ! "
